Summary
Stained glass windows in the South wall of the Chapel GR32. Three stained glass windows each formed of three narrow arched panels. It is a compilation of glass from various dates – mainly contemporary, but the central panels on the right and left are made up of pieces from the mediaeval and late mediaeval period. The earlier panels depict Adam and Eve leaving the Garden of Eden (on the right), and the Entombment (on the left) which represent man’s fall from Grace and salvation through Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross.
